Dear Giants,
thank you for playing the demo and sending us your invaluable feedback across all available channels. We were reading absolutely everything, analysed your comments and continued our testing runs.
We hear you!
While we received a lot of positive feedback about the core mechanics, the onboarding, accessibility in connection with the complexity (also in terms of menu structures and user interface) have been criticized a lot - and rightfully so.
Fundamental options, features and functions are not intuitive enough yet or are not explained to the degree that is needed for a deep business simulation. Sometimes as a developer you are so deeply involved that you are 'blinkered' and lose touch with the general players' needs, not seeing how difficult it can be to access all the gameplay layers, if you are not an 'insider'.
Which is exactly why we decided to work on all those elements and thus have decided with a heavy heart to postpone the release of Industry Giant 4.0 to November 15th.
The additional development time we will use to enhance the tutorial functions and general usability. Furthermore, we will adjust balancing, tweak the performance and include the first 'Quality of Life' improvements in terms of menu structures and user experience.
We apologize for the delay, but hope you understand our decision and are looking forward to more of your feedback and suggestions, especially towards and in the Early Access phase in order to make Industry Giant 4.0 a true giant.
Kindest regards from your IG4.0 Team
